存款搬家迹象初现 今年5月以来伴随股市上涨，我们观察到存款出现向股票市场搬家的迹象，主要包括以下方面： 1. 存款活化，定期化趋势出现拐点。7月M1同比增长5.6%，较5月的2.3%继续上升3.3个百分点。M1的上升除去年清理手工补息的低基数效应外，也和存 款进一步活化有关。而存款定期化趋势也在2023年以来首次出现拐点，体现出居民定期存款、银行理财等固定收益产品到期并未续投，成为潜在的入市资 金。 2. 股票基金热度提高。今年以来固定收益类财富管理产品，包括银行理财、固定收益类公募基金、保险等规模增长相比去年明显放缓，而权益类公募产品 和私募证券投资基金增速回升。 3. 券商保证金账户资金快速增长。历史上非银存款增速上升通常由于两方面因素：存款进入券商保证金账户准备入市；居民申购银行理财、固定收益类基 金等产品，非银机构认购定期存款。我们观察到7月非银存款同比多增1.4万亿元，存款进入股票账户可能是重要因素。 4. 资本市场活跃。8月以来A股单日成交额突破2万亿元，成交量明显放大，同时A股融资余额突破2万亿元，都表明股票市场资金更为活跃。7月上交所开 户数量相比5月增长26%，但与去年10月的高点仍有一定距 ...
